  • Glacial Lake Schoharie: an Investigative Study of Glaciolacustrine Lithofacies in Caves, Helderberg Plateau, Central New York
    J.M. Weremeichik and J.E. Mylroie – Glacial Lake Schoharie: an investigative study of glaciolacustrine lithofacies in caves, Helderberg Plateau, central New York. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 76, no. 2, p. 127–138. DOI: 10.4311/2013ES0117 GLACIAL LAKE SCHOHARIE: AN INVESTIGATIVE STUDY OF GLACIOLACUSTRINE LITHOFACIES IN CAVES, HELDERBERG PLATEAU, CENTRAL NEW YORK JEREMY M. WEREMEICHIK AND JOHN E. MYLROIE Department of Geosciences, Mississippi State University, MS 39762-5448, USA, [email protected] Abstract: The glacially deranged karst topography of the Helderberg Plateau, central New York, contains glaciolacustrine lithofacies deposited at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation. Eight pre-glacial caves (Barrack Zourie Cave, McFail’s Cave, Howe Caverns, Secret Caverns, Bensons Cave, Gage Caverns, Schoharie Caverns, and Caboose Cave), containing a unique sediment section, are located within the footprint of Glacial Lake Schoharie, Schoharie County. The lithofacies consist of three individual facies, stratigraphically uniform, with the middle facies in sharp contact with the facies directly above and below. This assemblage displays a similar stratigraphic sequence from bottom to top: tan/white to light-grey, very thinly bedded, silts and clays, rich in calcite, overlain by poorly sorted, matrix-supported gravels, in turn overlain by dark- brown very thinly bedded silts and clays. A post-glacial cave within the lake’s footprint (Westfall Spring Cave) and a nearby pre-glacial cave outside the footprint (Knox Cave) were found to lack these lithofacies. The tan/white to light-grey sediment facies is interpreted to be a glacial rock flour deposited under stagnant lake conditions that limited fine-grained calcite particle dissolution.

These documents have been prepared with our broadest and Wmost expansive level of community engagement yet; an intense, data-driven analysis; and a rigorous screening and prioritization process guided by a singular goal – to drive meaningful, lasting and inclusive improvements in our region’s economy. While it pains us to admit it, our economy is in urgent need of this investment. As the following market assessment shows, our economy lags most of the nation, and by some measures, much of the rest of New York State. Job growth is slow. Wage growth is incremental at best. And the national dialogue around income equality, economic segregation and poverty— particularly among our African-American and Hispanic populations—includes the word Syracuse in its headline. This is an untenable condition; therefore we embrace this opportunity to turn our region’s headline into one of a different sort—to a story of economic reinvention born of a brutal self-honesty about what is broken, and a strategic approach that aligns our region’s many assets against local, national and international market opportunities that can make our region globally-relevant once again. Our submission includes two major elements.
